  • Why do my contacts disappear when i turn my icloud off?

    I don't know that much about icloud but i signed into it anyway and have it on. and one day i though no point in having it on so i turned icloud off and the next day i noticed all my contacts where gone. so i paniced. i tried the back up from my computer and that didn't work. i went to setting > contacts and then import froim sim that did nothing so i then re signed into icloud again and they all came back.
    I want to turn icloud off but i can't cause then all my contacts disappear.

    This happens because when you sync them with iCloud they are moved from your phone to the iCloud server.  If you turn off iCloud you are disconnecting your device from the server so it can no longer access your contacts (or other iCloud data).
    If you no longer want to sync your contacts with iCloud, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts off and choose Keep on My iPhone.  That will keep a copy of your contact on your phone.

  • After upgrading to Mavericks, all of my contacts disappeared. Did a "contacts archive" export and the file is 17mbs. Looks like there's data, but none of it at all displays. What gives? 20" iMac, early '09

  • I just updated my 3G to 5.0 and most of my apps and contacts disappeared.  THis has never happened before.  How can I get it back to where it was?

    I just updated my 3GS to 5.0 and most of my apps and contacts disappeared.  THis has never happened before through many updates.  How can I get it back to where it was?
    I did a restore from backup but that did not change anything.
    I can see my apps in iTunes - it is like the update got some apps but not all, no contacts.
    Total waste of my Friday. 
    What steps can I take to bring the phone back.
    I know Steve is not smiling

    I got my contacts back by doing another restore!  Relief..
    But only a very few odd apps are showing up on the 3GS
    Any suggestions?

  • HT204150 I'm having problems with random contacts disappearing from icloud. I have a saved text from a contact that displays her info but when I look for her in contacts it's missing.

    It is locked to your sisters carrier.
    She would have to ask her carrier if they unlock iPhones and if she qualifies for this service.

    Tonight for some reason all my contacts disappeared and cannot get them back msgs are still there but no contact name assigned to msgs, I do not use iCloud to back up as I don't trust it. How can I get my contacts back please, very frustrating

        Hi Genyaz,
    Let's explore options to get your contacts back! How were your contacts lost? Did you upgrade to a new phone? Was you previous phone lost/stolen? Phone model (previous and new)? Were your contacts backed up to Gmail/iCloud/Other? Pleas answer the above questions and we'll be happy to assist.

    Kata-*******-stroff! Grateful for answers?

    do you sync your contacts with an application in your computer? or use iCloud?
    I can't tell you why the contacts disappear but you can get them back without much hassle by syncing through iTunes with your computer.
    do you regularly make backups?  if so, you can restore your iPhone using the backups and get your contacts back in your iPhone.
    It is strange that half of your contacts are gone over and over again.  Do you have Groups that are unchecked in your iPhone?  If so, the contacts in those groups will not appear in your contacts list but they are in your iPhone and be recovered by re-checking the group name.

  • I just upgraded to ios5 and all my contacts disappeared from my phone.  How to get back ?

    I just upgraded to ios5 and all my contacts disappeared from my phone.  How to get back ?

    Are you saying that you had all your music safely stored in itunes and now it's all gone?  You might try getting back the itunes folder that contains all your music (you haven't told us what kind of computer you're using) from a computer backup, say from a day ago.  If using a mac, look in Time Machine, in the music folder for your account.

  • Why have my contacts disappeared and been replaced with some Facebook friend names?

    A few days ago, all of my contacts disappeared and were replaced by the names of SOME of my Facebook friends.  None of these have any telephone contact information, it's all email addresses associated with those Facebook friends. For instance, my husband's name, emails and phone numbers were all deleted from my contacts - help!

    Look under iTunes>Preferences>Devices...is there a backup listed for her phone? First thing done when you sync is an iPhone backup. If you have not synced since screwing her phone up, restoring from that backup(if it exists) should restore her content. Do not sync after you restore her phone, eject it. So, first disable auto-sync on that same device pane in iTunes before you proceed. If this doesn't work, is your sister bigger than you? If so, run 'cause her data is gone .

  • Any idea on why contacts disappear from phone?

    Any idea on why contacts disappeared?

    Because either they were removed from the phone, or you updated and forgot to restore from a backup that had the contacts.
    What did you do just before they disappeared? Any editing of settings, updating, etc?

  • HT4623 After updating to ios 6 on my iphone 4, my mail,contact disappeared,Can anyone help.thanx

    After updating to ios 6 on my iphone 4, my mail,contact disappeared,can anyone help

    My suggestion:
    Reset your device: Settings>>General>>Reset>>Reset All Ajustments.
    It will restore to all company ajustments, but it will not delete anything at all.
    After that, do not Sign In Facebook, I see many people got problems after Sign In Facebook.
    In my device, I do not fill last names, I just fill names in "First Name".
    Another question: Are you sync your contacts with Outlook or iCloud? I have suggested another one to do not sync with Outlook and, in iTunes:
    1.In resume, mark "Backup in iCloud"
    2. open Information and unmark the "Sync Contacts With". roll down the page and, in "Advance" field, unmark everything.
    3.Sync your device again.
    It probably will help you.
    Good Luck

  • Why have my contacts disappeared?

    I've got an iPhone 4s running OS 7.0.6. Today my contacts disappeared. I have always had my iCloud backup enabled and I've used it to restore on previous occasions, but when I went to the settings it was disabled. Is there any reasone why this would happen? Is there anything I can do to restore the contacts? I'm trying to upgrade my iTunes to see if I can restore from there, but in the meantime I'd appreciate any advice on what I can do.
    Thanks
    Jane

    Hello,
    When I went to iCloud to restore the deleted contact it had been turned off (I'm sure it was on). I deleted the iCloud account and added it again.  When I synced the contacts were still lost.  I turned on and off the contact back up 4 times and on the last time the contacts reappeared. The favourites list is still not correct but at least the contacts are back. 
    I'm a little freaked out by this as I thought I could count on iCloud and Apple to keep my info safe.  Still at least I recovered most of the data.

  • All my contacts disappear !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    help me pleaseeee

    I got up this morning to see if maybe it re-appeared during the night. . .
    Nope.
    I have a .mac account, and I was able to sync to my idisk and get an old version of my address book- but still, I've lost a bit (I've now set up the .mac sync to go automatically, once weekly, to keep it more up to date should this happen again).
    Yup- I'd definitely back up the old address book somewhere, and not just on the computer you're syncing to. That was so weird. The contacts were there when I started out to the airport last night, and sitting, waiting, watching "Monk" on the iPhone- I got a call. When I went to call my husband, all the contacts just vanished. Numbers were there, in 'favorites', but no names, info- same with 'recents'. And all my contact info- pics, emails, addresses- gone.
    When I went to sync later (and, I thought it synced together?), everything was gone. . . from the computer, and the iPhone.
